Seven more sleeps until St. Patrick’s day – which means 7 more days of St. Patrick’s day related posts from us. Well either way, these are staple items you can make in the future without the shamrock twists of course. So we have a few quick and easy snacks for kids that they’ll love and don’t require too many ingredients or direction! Our favorite 🙂
